The structural and biochemical hierarchy of a cell and a human
Essential topics in dynamic biochemistry
Energy : in the body, tissues and biochemical processes
Enzymes : activities, properties, regulation and physiology
Transport into the body : the gastrointestinal tract, digestion and absorption
Transport into the cell: particles, molecules and ions
